AllTorque Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Such a sweet video. Matt certainly was complementary and rightly so. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Nothing you've not earned man. You two are an inspiration. You also make me wish that my place was a stretch out of town instead of in it, but that's not your fault. Hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Cheers! I wasn't sure if it might have been too long. Took all night.. slow typer and all that. But seriously I was so amazed at how lovely it was up there and had taken a few nice photos so just wanted to share. Going to go back up there for sure. And that hot pool waterfall!!!! Awesome. I wish we had more time to enjoy but was on mission to get to nats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nominal Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 The Coromandel is great. We camped at Waikawau for a couple of weeks in Jan 2013. Great place, but slightly windy when tenting. The Driving Creek Railway is cool too - I liked the brick/rusty steel decor at the base kiln area. Keen to do a future pizza oven area in a similar way. Â We drove pretty much all the gravel roads in the northern half of the coromandel over that period (in the HG Holden), so can totally agree with the fuckwits in rental Nissan Tiidas. Always a pain in the ass. Â Good to hear that the Viva behaved. Plenum explosions are no fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattj Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 love the turbos, I have been keeping an eye out for a set for my car for ages. Probably my favorite of the old school mags,,,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah I was luck they were on that wagon. Actually they pretty much sealed the sale when I found out they were included. The viva is parked up were I can see it and while I like the turbos the tyre size is still wrong. I'd really like some brand new, straight and true hustlers or revolution four spokes with 185/60 tyres. To have that new wobble free shiny wheel feel Oh and I weighed the wheels. Even with slightly larger tyres the alloys are almost 2 kg lighter each than the steels! Quite a difference in unsprung weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Steels look a million miles better. You can tell that's a legit statement because the comparison of style vs. distance is incomprehensible so helps to convey the feelings of just how much better the steels are than the Cheviot's Yuckbros. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 That is a good way of putting it..it is only maybe 50 mm bigger diameter change but looks much fatter/blobbier spec than that. I don't personally like the stretch tyre look ( yawn..) but neither do I like bulging sidewalls. However I do like the turbos but I like them more on the wagon because manky, tatty, messy cars suit nice wheels more. If you know what I mean. Plus the steels help with the whole grandad spec style thing. But then I often think that widened steels are a bit over done and yawn spec where as a nice set of turbos is not often seen on older cars like this. I'm gonna roll the turbos for a while longer anyway, because I can, plus one of the steels as a slow leak to sort out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxted Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm just going to put my two cents in and the viva looks amazing on steelies with hubcaps…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Square sidewalls man, get just the right tyre and they look the bestest. IMO. Not too balloon, not too stretch. Ahhh.. Semi-slicks are usually the best for it, I find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
